The Lincoln Institute and Claremont Lincoln University will host a booth during the conference, where attendees will be able to see publications and resources, learn about scholarship opportunities for new degree and certificate students, and get more information about the Lincoln Vibrant Communities program.

On September 10, Lincoln Institute President and CEO George McCarthy will give the keynote speech for the conference, titled “Reclaiming Land, Rebuilding Trust: Who Owns the Land and Housing in America’s Counties? Should We Care?” In his address, he will highlight the shift in land and housing ownership happening across the US and will introduce Who Owns America—an innovative tool tracking landownership at the parcel level.
